Rep. Lauren Boebert’s 18-year-old son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and is facing 22 charges, including several felony charges relating to a string of crimes in her Colorado district.
According to a Facebook post by the Rifle Police Department, the 18-year-old Boebert was arrested after a “recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts” in Rifle, a town in Colorado’s 3rd congressional district.
According to Garfield County Jail’s records, the younger Boebert is facing four counts of criminal possession of a financial device, four counts of criminal possession of ID documents, and a count of conspiracy to commit a felony.
He’s also charged with four misdemeanor counts of ID theft, three misdemeanor counts of first-degree criminal trespass, and three misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
In addition, he’s also charged with three counts of the petty offense of theft of less than $300.
Not to excuse his criminal activity, but I don’t think it’s really a surprise he’s not particularly… well-adjusted, given who his mother is. I frankly would have been more shocked if I was told he was a functional, well-adjusted, pleasant human being.
which kinda sucks, honestly. it’s not like these kids seem to have really had a great chance before, then she runs for congress.
It is possible for someone to rebel against their parents shittiness by being the most upstanding citizen possible.
Or by becoming an activist for causes that oppose their shitty parent (see Nate Phelps, for example)
Unfortunately, those are rare examples, but they are possible.
